JIH is an on-going workshop that all staff undergo. They embark on a journey of emotional healing and trauma counseling in order to be better prepared to work with children going through the same process. The rock throwing exercise is a favorite. Participants ‘let go’ of a frustration and watch it disappear in the ocean waves.
